Comedian and 7x Emmy-winning comedy writer
Learn how to capture and hold the attention of one person or one thousand
Hi, I’m Beth.
In a world where AI and automation are the norm, the most important differentiating factors in business are authenticity and humanity. While the fearful shy away from humor for fear of getting it wrong, the brave harness it as an incredibly versatile asset.
Attendees leave my keynotes and masterclasses with a humor toolkit they can employ to quickly and effectively break down barriers, find common ground, and relieve tension in any situation.

Are you or your team
struggling with:
1. Forgettable pitches presentations
2. Ineffective networking & relationship building
3. Lack of confidence in public speaking
4. Dull or overly-formal communication that’s easily ignored by prospects
6. Difficulty handling objections or awkward situations
“Beth’s talk was much more than entertaining; it was thought-provoking and highly practical. She managed to challenge conventional thinking while keeping the room laughing, engaged, and motivated.”
About me
I’m a comedian, and seven-time Emmy-winning Hollywood comedy writer who's who’s spent the past 30 years writing for the biggest shows in American television, including Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Ellen, and the Academy Awards. I’ve performed at comedy clubs across the United States, as well as combat outposts and forward operating bases in Iraq.
When it comes to humor, I know what works, what doesn’t, and why.
Why humor is an essential tool for business:
Learning how to capture and hold attention in one-on-one interactions leads to more meaningful connections, and better business opportunities.
Understanding how to use humor and storytelling makes pitches and presentations more impactful and memorable, keeping prospects listening and receptive.
Laughter creates emotional connection, making customer-facing employees more likable and helping to build trust faster.
